Ich nutze den Browser zum Musik hören auf Youtube. Es ist extrem ärgerlich, dass ständig, teilweise schon nach 10 Minuten, alles stoppt zugunsten der Frage, ob weiter abgespielt werden soll! Ganz ehrlich, wenn ich eine Musikdatei auswähle, um die beim Joggen, Arbeitem, Kochen, und am schlimmsten beim Yogaunterricht zu hören, dann möchte ich nicht alle 10 Minuten klicken müssen, um zu bestätigwn, dass ich weiter hören möchte! Das ist mehr als nervtötend und überhaupt nicht gefragt. Ganz dummer Fehler in der Software.

I've used Brave for a few years, and set it as my default about a year ago. For good security, I've accepted as a worthwhile tradeoff what many commenters have raised as issues. (And in any case, those shortcomings have slowly improved anyway - and are likely to get better.) What bugs me, and seems to have gotten worse is the lagging on my Mac desktop, especially on start up. I've confronted unacceptably long waits Brave to open, to the point that my "CleanMyMac" app which monitors start ups warns me EVERY TIME that the browser seems to have hung up, and asked if I want to close it. If I say "ignore", it eventually opens. I've tried all sorts of options to "tweek" Brave's settings and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. But the problem remains. So I've decided to stop using it for a few months in the hope that it will improve.

Subject: Serious Complaint – Unauthorized Data Loss, Forced Search Engine Change & Removal of User Choice To the Brave Software Team, I am writing this complaint with deep frustration regarding the unacceptable behavior of Brave Browser during a recent update. What I experienced is not just a bug — it is a direct violation of user trust and digital autonomy. Here is what happened without my consent: 1. FORCED SEARCH ENGINE CHANGE My default search engine was automatically changed to Brave Search without my permission. I never authorized this change. A browser that claims to respect user privacy and freedom should NEVER silently override user preferences. This is manipulative behavior disguised as a "feature." 2. REMOVAL OF SEARCH ENGINE OPTIONS After the update, my list of available search engines was drastically reduced to only two options — Brave Search and Google. Previously, I had access to multiple search engines including DuckDuckGo. Limiting user choices to push your own product is anti-competitive and anti-user. This is exactly the kind of Big Tech behavior Brave claims to fight against. 3. COMPLETE LOSS OF SAVED PASSWORDS All of my saved passwords were wiped out after the update. This is a critical data loss issue. I had sensitive login credentials for multiple platforms including banking, social media, and productivity tools. Losing this data has caused real inconvenience and forced me to go through painful account recovery processes. 4. FORCED LOGOUT FROM ALL WEBSITES I was logged out of every website I was signed into. Again — without any warning, without any consent dialog, without any backup option offered. This is NOT acceptable behavior from a browser that markets itself as "privacy-first" and "user-first." You are doing exactly what you claim to stand against — taking control away from users silently. Brave has a history of controversies — the 2020 affiliate link scandal where you injected your own commission links without user consent, and now this. It seems like a pattern of prioritizing Brave's business interests over user rights. My demands are simple: • Immediately stop auto-changing default search engines during updates. • Restore the full list of search engine options for all users. • Provide a proper data backup/warning mechanism before any update that modifies user data. • Issue a public acknowledgment and apology for this update's behavior. I have already shared my experience on public review platforms and community forums. I urge Brave to take this seriously — not just as a bug report, but as a trust issue. A disappointed user who expected better, Alex

Ich suchte einen Browser der mich vor überkommerz und permanent Bettelgesuche von Internet Seiten beschützt merklich sind einige Banner weniger aufgetreten von Anonymität habe ich nichts gemerkt Dinge die ich am PC anschaute wurden mir verkaufsbanner auf dem Handy gezeigt Fazit Anonymität= so und Cookies und betraypaywalls werden nicht geblockt ich nutze brave ca einen Monat ich teste noch ne Woche aber begeistert bin ich nicht

Après des éloges sur ce navigateur, j'ai voulu le tester. Bein rien d'exceptionnel, je le trouve un peu poussif sur certains site web. Il aurait besoin d'un bon coup de fouet. Je reste avec Firefox

CPU eater! The browser uses a lot of CPU power.

ANNOYING UPDATE POP UPS, ANNOYING UPDATE BUTTON. ANNOYING BRAVE.COM POP UP. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REMOVE, BUT YOU HAVE NO CONTROLL.

Brave war mal ein guter Browser, aber das er nach jeder Aktualisierung (nur unter Windows) permanent die Passwörter löscht, ist nicht nur nervend und unnötig, sondern kostet auch Zeit, diese wieder mit den jeweiligen Websites zu verbinden. Schade, wirklich schade.
